When all of this was first happening, it sure did look like Palestine elected a government that attempted to commit genocide against the Jews and drive them out of Israel. The tides have turned and the genocide backfired, but it’s hard to blame NPR for being at one point sympathetic.
If their purpose is to extract resources from 3rd world countries and distribute it to 1st world countries, then they are actually great at what they do.

It makes sense that they are reluctant to make investments. Building new data centers will presumably require more new RAM units then maintaining those that are already in existence. The large influx of new infrastructure is a temporary condition.
Regardless, a quick Google search indicates that about a half a trillion dollars has recently been spent on building new foundries in the United States. Since the release of ChatGPT in late 2022 coincides with the spike in demand, we are only just at the point where these investments could come into fruition.
You’re on the right track, but radiation poisoning is a more likely explanation. It causes severe vomiting and diarrhea. If there ever was a nuclear apocalypse, a lot of people would die in the bathroom.
When my school was hit by a natural disaster, I had the opportunity to switch from a premier Catholic school to a premier public school for two semesters.
…let me tell you, the biggest disservice that you received was a systematic lowering of academic standards. The difference was night and day. There is no way that that curriculum was preparing students for college.
Since there is a limited window in which brain plasticity is at its peak, catching up at university isn’t an option. Public school students are at a permanent disadvantage; it’s an equal opportunity problem.
If Democrats rescheduled marijuana, they wouldn’t be able to use the issue to win future elections. I love how Biden waited until last minute to demand the rescheduling of marijuana. If he had done it any sooner, his attempt might have been successful.
I don’t think it was purposefully engineered. I’m pretty sure it takes over a decade to ramp up production.
This situation was more complicated then that. The treatment in question was histiotripy. While it might be less invasive than traditional surgery, it isn’t necessarily “better” when dealing with stage 4 cancer that failed to respond to surgery or chemotherapy. It just uses sound waves instead of scalpels.
Realistically, this guy would have died soon regardless of the treatment. It’s unlikely the technician would have been able to identify all the cancer after it’s spread throughout his body. It’s success depends on being able to target the majority of cancer cells, which isn’t easy for Stage 4 cancer.
In his defense, the guy working behind the cash register probably isn’t capable of contributing to the development of our healthcare technology.
The guy behind the cash register would argue the money would be better spent on his groceries, but that probably wouldn’t help anyone in the long run. Obesity is an issue where I’m from since the food is already dirt cheap.
I have a feeling that the handful of pod casters propogating these theories understand thatthey are lying. As for their audience, most of them listen purely for entertainment and some of them are mentally ill.
…since about 1% of the population is schizophrenic, their are about 3 million people in the United States that might think this real.
This has nothing to do with the point I’m making. You are really going out of your way to drag racism and slavery into this argument. There must be a language barrier or something.
It’s not necessarily a waste of tax payer money for a country as small as Switzerland. Switzerland is about twice as large as New Jersey, the 4th smallest US state. It makes sense for them to provide high bandwidth to everyone since their banks and data centers are in the same physical area as their living districts.
In the final fantasy and Pokemon games I played when I was younger -and more recently Expedition 33-there wasn’t any movement. My team was standing static on the left and the enemy team was on the right. BG3 is the first turn based game I played where I can strategically move around a 3D environment.
I’m writing under the assumption that my statement is being read by people in Europe and the United States. If you think the lower class in these countries are the slaves in your metaphor, you should really look into how high their standard of living is relative to the global norm.
Down With the Sickness*.
…I got my songs mixed up. When I was in the death metal murder scene in highschool, these songs were on the same playlists. At this point I listen to Taylor Swift and electronica.
Regardless, it is outrageous that the person behind the “No mommy, don’t do it again” song would do this. Unacceptable.
If you look at the raw materials used by society-the oil, wood, water, metal, etc.-it is overwhelmingly used by the majority. The rich people have more resources than the average poor person, but it’s still a small fraction of the existing physical resources.
If we were to take all their stuff and divide it evenly amongst everyone, it wouldn’t necessarily solve our problems. It would be a moral victory. They would become poor and we would become a percent or two less poor.
On the bright side, we have apartments full of advanced electronics and consumer products. Back then they had houses with thin walls, a library, and a record player. In order to have a bearable existence, I don’t need as much space as they did.
From their perspective, I’m living in some sort of sci-fi fantasy reality. A millionaire would have traded his mansion to have what I take for granted. They’d empty their bank accounts for an Xbox and an iPhone.
I still don’t understand what Visa and MasterCard do that justifies 5% of every transaction. Computers have made their job infinitly easier, yet their fee has remained the same.
